According to reports, President Joe Biden has approved the relocation of several hundred American troops to Somalia.
This largely reverses Donald Trump's decision to withdraw nearly all of the 700 ground troops stationed there when he was in power.
Al-Shabab is thought to have up to 10,000 members, according to US intelligence authorities. Despite fighting within Somalia, officials claim that some members want to attack the United States.
The organization carried out a devastating attack on an American air station in Kenya two years ago.
It's unclear how many soldiers President Biden has authorized, but they're expected to be part of a special operations unit stationed in Somalia.
He is also said to have approved a plan to target approximately a dozen suspected al-Shabab leaders.
In contrast to Mr. Biden's decision to remove American forces from Afghanistan, this revives an open-ended American counter-terrorism mission.
